loose lips
La Cieca tries to be charitable, especially to members of her own gender, but she has come to the conclusion that it is time for Susan Baker to shut the hell up. NYCO’s new General Director has been chosen and is about to take office, and the more Baker yammers, the more she makes George Steel come off like an ineffectual lapdog, which goodness knows La Cieca hopes he’s not going to be. (Bad enough that some in the media are calling him “Two-Face.”) Back away from the press conferences, ma’am, and please just let your hired hand do his job.
Oh, and one other thing. If you must talk to the media (and La Cieca thinks you really mustn’t, but who listens to La Cieca?) — anyway, if you must talk to the media, please, please, please stop saying things like you hope to announce a season in mid-March. That’s just deadly, because you’ve just set yourself up for two months of will-they-or-won’t-they speculation, and then, when (as likely will happen) you don’t announce a season in mid-March, that’s yet another brick in the wall of failed NYCO promises, e.g.:
At the moment, our thinking is that if we have to be dark in the State Theater for part of the ’08-09 performance season, what we would do is have some non-traditional season in other venues,” [Baker] said.
Go on a vacation or something, Ms. Baker, but please do hush.
I agree that as a general practice the board members should say nothing. They know nothing and their doing should be limited to raising funds. That’s the only reason they are on the board. General directors are selected precisely because they are supposed to know how to run the organization.
Love how she thinks NYCO’s productions should “entertain in some ways…” What, and bore the shit out of us in others? This is a woman who clearly has no conception of what any audience is looking for, let alone her subscriber base. Who did she sit on to get this gig?
Again I say….why are they allowing this cow to be the face of NYCO? Did they fire everyone in the P.R. Department.
C*nts like Susan Baker are often clueless to the fact that they are the problems. Problems rarely realize what they really are.
All that botox and plastic surgery has clearly affected her brain. Get the hook already.
[Slightly bowdlerized by La Cieca]
Turandot et al: La Cieca is going to ask that we use less gender-specific abuse, or rather, that you feel free to use all the abusive language you like, but please try not to couch your insults in gender-specific terms.
“Cunt” really should be used only to apply to a man.
So, can women be assholes? That always seemed like such a male oriented word to me. What’s the female equivalent?
Thank you, liebe Cieca.
dcrazmo- I think it’s time you had a little anatomy lesson.
Well, I know women have assholes…!
Here’s hoping Steel has the guts to rid City Opera of of few more of their assholes – male and female.
